         7 . The integrated electronic information system of  claim 1 , wherein the second information storage system is configured to:
 receive the data in the second form from the integration system;   determine that the data is associated with a transaction having a record in the second information storage system; and   update the record according to the data.   
     
     
         8 . The integrated electronic information system of  claim 1 , wherein the second information storage system is configured to:
 receive the data in the second form from the integration system;   determine that the data is associated with a transaction that does not have a record in the second information storage system; and   create a record in the second information storage system for the transaction, the record comprising the data.   
     
     
         9 . A method comprising:
 receiving, by an electronic data storage integration system from a first information storage system, an indication of data that is newly-added to the first information storage system, wherein the first information storage system is user-accessible through a first interface;   receiving, by the electronic data storage integration system from the first information storage system, the data in a first schema;   translating, by the electronic data storage integration system, the data from the first schema to a second schema; and   transmitting, by the electronic data storage integration system, the data in the second schema to a second information storage system, wherein the second information storage system is user-accessible through a second interface.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising:
